Quark Forums

This is a user-to-user forum, where you meet experts; exchange ideas & discuss solutions with other users of QuarkXPress, App Studio etc. If you are looking for support, please go here: http://support.quark.com

since we have opened the new Facebook Group in July last year, we have seen hundreds of customers posting there, whereas the posts in the forums here have decreased.

I prefer forums myself, as it's easier to categorize and notify, however the interaction in the group shows me that most people seem to prefer Facebook. This morning alone there were 15 new posts in the Facebook Group. So maybe that's the new way how people want to interact?

Bottom-line what I wrote there: When we switched QuarkXPress from version numbers to a release scheme, we didn't mean to indicate that there will be yearly releases. Apple, Oracle, Adobe and especially Microsoft show that you can use a release date over several years. If I remember correctly the last MS Office used the same "year" for four or five years.

Hi Mathias--perhaps I am a dinosaur. Probably evident because I still work in print

As for people using FB more than the forums? Maybe it is evidence in changes from both sides of the equation. Faster to post on FB, faster to get a response. It is certain more people will see a user's issue on FB from what I understand, whether they are users of a particular software or not.

Generally speaking, it's a learning source. If you're interested to learn you can browse the posts and comments. There are a lot of problems which were never posted in this forum.Of course, there is no obligation, It is just an opportunity.
